I agree with this -- but I disagree that the mailing list is where 
the focus needs to go. The focus needs to go in fixing mail client 
interfaces to properly integrate this stuff and make it easy to use. 
Until that happens, it doesn't matter what else is done, because 
users won't use it.

IMHO, of course. but working on the MLM side is the cart before the 
horse. Get the clients using encryption rationally, and the server 
side will follow naturally.
